Conclusion

• IMRT (including VMAT) offers better possibilities to balance between tumor dose needed and OAR dose to be avoided than conventional treatment planning algorithms

• We have medical evidence that IMRT reduces toxicity

• However, IMRT treatment planning offers more degrees of freedom

• Predefined dose parameters are essential for clinically acceptable treatment plans

• Therefore we must use current knowledge on dose volume relations

However, we still need to learn !
